Inhaltsangabe

Deputy US Marshal Miro Jones has a reputation for being calm and collected under fire. These traits serve him well with his hotshot partner, Ian Doyle, the kind of guy who can start a fight in an empty room. In the past three years of their life-and-death job, they've gone from strangers to professional coworkers to devoted teammates and best friends. Miro's cultivated blind faith in the man who has his back...faith and something more.

As a marshal and a soldier, Ian's expected to lead. But the power and control that brings Ian success and fulfillment in the field isn't working anywhere else. Ian's always resisted all kinds of tied down, but having no home - and no one to come home to - is slowly eating him up inside. Over time, Ian has grudgingly accepted that going anywhere without his partner simply doesn't work. Now Miro just has to convince him that getting tangled up in heartstrings isn't being tied down at all.

The two main characters and their relationship is quite believable - and it's a joy to follow their ups and downs! The criminal plots are not bad - Mary Calmes manages to surprise the reader at times - which is fun. Sometimes all that introspective thinking of the leading persona in face of danger is a bit unnerving - a little less thinking and a bit more action would be cool. But all in all - I enjoy that series and I am waiting for more.
